Volodymyr Zelensky’s administration considered making a deal that would have lined Melania Trump’s pockets in order to curry favor with the new president, according to a report.

As part of a desperate scramble to make inroads with Donald Trump, the Ukrainian president’s aides floated brokering the purchase of the Ukrainian language rights to the first lady’s memoir, unnamed Ukrainian officials told The New York Times.

Don't even think about it, Zelensky...

Unlike the Bidens, the Trumps cannot be bought.

[Qwapisking]

just the fact he even CONSIDERED that Melania is that shallow is insulting.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Lined her pockets with what?

Laundered US taxpayer dollars?

(Rhetorical question. We all know the answer.)

[DesertRhino]

That country is just filthy to the core.

[ProudDeplorable]

I can’t imagine what he gave to Biden for that 200 billion.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Two questions:

Has he done it before?

Was Dr. Jill on Joetato's last minute preemptive pardon list?

[Dave911]

Bribing her with our own tax dollars? What a despicable POS.

[NautiNurse]

Reuters is reporting that Zelensky is ready to end the war. Trump has called for a meeting with Putin asap.

[HollyB]

Like she needed $ .. smh. … he’s truly delusional and just confirms what a sleaze he is.

If he wants to curry favor, that would work better with the VP's wife; you can find her near the tan door.

(just kidding, FRiends; to be serious, I find it disgusting that no one on the other side is celebrating the diversity of the first couples--a 100% India-n is worth nothing, a fake black is worth everything to them)

[Jamestown1630]

What need would Melania have of his money?

(And she’s not so stupid as to take it - unlike the Bidens.)

[Obadiah]

Exactly. What an utter outrage.

>>>>Reuters is reporting that Zelensky is ready to end the war. Trump has called for a meeting with Putin asap.<<<<

Do you have a link?

I searched “Reuters” and can’t find the article.

[lgjhn23]

Zelenssky and Melania shouldn’t even appear in the same sentence.
Yeah, and how much money did ya bribe trailer-trash Jill?
Whaddda POS this grifter is.

[JonPreston]

How rich, Zelensky using our tax dollars to buy her. Someone please lock this guy up.

[Vaduz]

Zelensky Mulled Lining Melania’s Pockets With The Money Biden Gave Him?.

[drypowder]

What is 10% of 200 billion$?

[dadgum]

As if!

Little scumbag needs to be… disappeared, or something.

This sort of thing tends to support the claim that Ukraine is a very corrupt place.

What sort of normal person would think you could bribe the president's wife to get consideration from the government?

I guess he is used to dealing with corrupt Biden, and didn't know Trump is a better quality person.
